Abstract
A camera display system displays information via a matrix display element mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to at least eye of a user. The display is connected to a video or image sensor such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a housing so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's field of view.
Claims40
A camera display device comprising:
- a housing;
- an electronic imaging camera attached to the housing;
- an active matrix liquid crystal display attached to the housing, the display having an active matrix circuit including an array of pixel circuits and an array of pixel electrodes;
- a light source attached to the housing that illuminates the display with a plurality of distinct colors;
- an image processing circuit mounted within the housing and connected to the electronic imaging camera and the display;
- and
- a lens that adjusts the dimensions of an image displayed on the display for viewing by a user such that the active matrix liquid crystal display and the lens are located on a single optical axis extending along a line of sight of the user.
